Chapter Thriteen: Remind Me
--
Setsuna looked up from feeding little Sotan. "That was a long walk." He smiled nerviously. "Here I already put dinner on the table."
Kurama sat down, patting his son on the head. "Smells good."
--
"That must have been some walk." She stated blankly after supper.
"Huh? Why would you say that?" Kurama implored.
Picking up the sleeping child she looked at Kurama. "You've been in your mind all this evening and have only spoken three sentences." She began to walk up the stairs. "Excuse me while I put Sotan down."
Kurama was sitting on the couch, fireplace lit, and coffee in hand. There was another steaming cup on the small table in front of him. "Come sit." She sat and looked at him. "Setsuna I admit that I went to go see Tara. I mean those things that you must have said had her upset, really upset."
"Just cut to the chase Kurama." She stated.
Respecting her wishes he did so. "I'm staying in the tournament. I've already spoking with the others. They are staying as well. I'll talk it over with you but in the end my decision, it's final."
She let out a breath. Looking away from him she got up and walked to the window. The snow had increased its downfall since night had fallen. Several tears escaped her eyes.
Walking quickly over to her he took her in his arms. "Please don't cry. I'll be home as soon as it is over."
Her eyes were watery but some how she found comfort in his words. "Kurama.." But she was interupted by the radio that was softly playing.
"Ladies and Gentlemen." The dj stated happily. "It's Christmas time again and tonight we start off with our first love song. Enjoy."
"See our picture on the wall. Why were we smiling, I can't seem to recall. Remind me. Do you see this wedding band? Wasn't it once worth more than just gold on my hand? Remind me"
Setsuna laughed. "How ironic that a song like that would come on at a time this."
"I don't care who's right or wrong. But my memory of love is almost gone. Won't you take me in your arms and remind me? You criticize and accuse. Oh, but honey you've had amnesia too. Kiss me like you use to do. And remind me."
Kurama nodded his head picked her up and placed her on the blanketted floor in front of the fire place.
"It's a short walk to that door. But didn't we have something worth fighting for. Remind me."
He placed a little kiss on the tip of her nose.
"I don't care who's right or wrong. But my memory of love is almost gone. Won't you take me in your arms and remind me? You cirticize and accuse. Oh, but honey you've had amnesia too. Kiss me like you use to do. And remind me."
The radio was sounded out as Setsuna snuggled up to Kurama and fell asleep. For an hour or so he watched her sleep. Thinking on what his decision had done. If he didn't return a promise would be broken. And if he did return then everything would be back to normal.
"I love you my bride." He whispered and fell asleep as well.
